MERLIN Sheath Fault Tester is a powerful system that can successfully locate sheath/earth faults on any type of cable.It offers different modes such as:

HV Test, pre-location, Burning & pin-pointing

Reliable and cost effective sheath fault locator/earth fault detector

Sheath/earth faults develop on any type of underground cable network such as low, medium, high voltage power cables or unshielded multi core control cables. It can be a manufacturing defect or can be caused by improper handling during laying / external damage/any other factor due to which the metallic armor or cores develop leakage with the mass of earth.

These faults can remain undetected for longtime as they do not hamper the working of the cable.It develops into a full fledged fault over a period of time.

Features:

Output kV Range: There are 3 ranges- 0-3kV, 0-6 kV and 0-12 kV.

Output current: There are 3 ranges 0-100, 0-200 and 0-400 mA3)

The total VA rating of the power supply is 1000 VA.

The instrument is able to deliver 0-83 mA at 12 kV range.

The current reading will be indicated on 100 mA F.S.D.

Please note that there are 100 divisions on the scale of the meter. The operator can read 5 mA current easily on the scale.

Please note the maximum current output at the ranges:

a) 0-3 kV: 333 mA on 400 mA FSD

b) 0-6 kV: 166 mA on 200 mA FSD

C) 0-12 kV: 83 mA on 100 mA FSD. (FSD is full scale deflection).

Collapsible carrying handle bar

Two extra wheels on the front side so that the handle bar can be used for towing and For lifting the instrument,

Two collapsible handles have been provided on the sides.

The top lid accommodates the accessories and receiver unit. Two captive screws secure the inside cover to safeguard the accessories falling on the panel.

Cable Identification System / ICAB 2

Reliable and cost effective cable identification system for power cables

The precise identification of a particular cable from a bunch is a common problem faced by technicians and cable jointers in every day practice.

The wrong identification of a power cable can result in catastrophic or fatal results if the cable is cut.

This requires the most reliable system having no chance for wrong identification.

Cable identification system ICAB 2 incorporates all the safety features and gives 100% fail safe identification of the wanted cable leaving no chance for an accident.

The occurrence of cable fault can not be avoided due to many factors. Long outages of a cable from service results in heavy loss of revenue to the power distribution company, production loss to industries as well as unpleasant condition to the general public.

This requires an efficient instrument capable of locating the fault in minimum possible time and restoring the supply.

GS 16 is a powerful instrument to pre-locate the fault distance and exactly locate the fault point in a short time.

It offers 500J/1000J energy on 4, 8 and 16 KV ranges, that allows its use on LT as well as HT networks effectively.

Damp Discharge Rods / DDR

Reliable and cost effective damp discharge rods

Damped discharge of the cable/ Device Under Test (DUT), through suitable resistor.

Range: 11kV-100kV working for maximum capacity discharge up to 6 microfarad.

Occurrence of cable fault cannot be avoided due to many factors. Long outage of a cable from service results in heavy loss of revenue to the power distribution company, production loss to industries as well as unpleasant condition to general public.

This requires an efficient instrument capable of locating the fault in minimum possible time and restoring the supply.

SR is a highly sensitive instrument to exactly locate the fault point in a short time.

It can be used on LT as well as HT networks effectively.

Route Location

The success of locating exact fault point on the underground cable depends on the search carried out on the lay of the cable.

This calls for an indication to guide the operator to walk precisely on the route.

The magnetic channel in dual LCD display indicates the strength of magnetic field on the ground surface.
